Glock handguns are used by the following actors in the following movies, television series, anime, and video games:

Glock 17

Note: When adding pictures of Glock 17 pistols to movie/TV/video game pages on IMFDB, please use the image of the correct model. When in doubt, keep in mind that the 3rd Generation model was introduced in the late-1990s, so any Glock 17s that appear in movies prior to this time are inevitably going to be the 2nd Generation or even the 1st Generation models. Also note that in some cases Glock 17's are used as a substitute for the Glock 18, converted to fire full auto. See the Glock 18 section below for more information.

1st Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm

2nd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm. This model added finger stepping and cuts to the backstrap of the frame to make it easier to hold than the Generation 1 model.

3rd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm. Note the finger grooves, thumb reliefs, and accessory rail on the frame, which differentiate it from the older model.

Glock 17 (Converted to Full Auto)

Glock 17 converted to full auto with 33 round magazine - 9x19mm

Glock 17 fitted with stainless slide and 33 round magazine.

In many productions, the Glock 17 converted to fire on full-auto is seen used instead of the select-fire Glock 18. Due to a lack of a selector switch, these converted Glocks can only fire in full auto and no longer have a semi-auto fire mode. The handgun often is seen loaded with a 33 round magazine.

Glock 18

Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. This model has compensator cuts on the slide and barrel to reduce muzzle climb while firing

The Glock 18 is a select fire version of the Glock 17 chambered for 9x19mm.

NOTE: There are a number of movies - such as The Dark Knight - which use Glock 17s that have been converted to automatic as stand-ins for the Glock 18. If you are in doubt a Glock machine pistol is a genuine Glock 18, look at the slide. Unlike other Glock variants, it has a switch on the slide used to select semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing. The selector somewhat resembles a decocking safety. Any full-auto Glock that lacks this selector is going to be one of the converted Glock 17s, not a genuine Glock 18.

Glock 22

Glock 22 (2nd Generation) - .40 S&W

Glock 22 (3rd Generation) - .40 S&W

The Glock 22 is a full sized pistol chambered for .40 S&W. Many American law enforcement agencies use this model, for example, FBI Academy graduates are issued this or a Glock 23 (according to the agent preference) as their standard field weapon. It is also the standard weapon of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) along with the Glock 23, Glock 27, and the SIG Pro SP 2340. US Marshals also carry the Glock 22 and Glock 23 as their service weapons for all Deputy US Marshals. In 2008 the Glock 22 became the standard service weapon for all probationary LAPD officers, once they complete probation these officers then have a choice to either stay with their Glock 22 or go with some other weapon on the LAPD approved carry list.

NOTE: Although the Glock 22 is an issue weapon for the FBI, this does not mean that characters who are FBI Agents in movies or TV shows necessarily use them. Hollywood's propmasters and armorers preferred, until recently, to use 9x19mm pistols, due to the difficulties of converting larger calibers to blank-fire. Consequently, there are almost no Glock 22s in movies or TV shows; if a character is supposed to be an FBI Agent, it is most likely that they are using a Glock 17, standing in for the Glock 22. IMFDB members have frequently made the assumption that any Glock used by an FBI Agent in a movie must be a .40-caliber model, even though (it bears repeating) the weapons used in movies do not always correspond to the weapons used by a particular law enforcement agency in real life. Unless you have good evidence, do not assume that a Glock pistol is a .40-caliber model, simply because the FBI uses this weapon in real life. When in doubt, it is usually safer to assume that the Glock in question is a 9mm model.

Glock 23

The Glock 23 is a compact pistol chambered for .40 Smith & Wesson. Like the Glock 22, it is an issue weapon to the FBI.

Glock 25

Glock 25 - .380 ACP

Compact .380 ACP

Unlike other Glock pistols, due to the weaker pressures of the .380 ACP cartridge, both the Glock 25 and the subcompact Glock 28 operate via straight blowback. These pistols are quite common in countries that forbid their citizens to own firearms chambered in "common military calibers" like 9mm (such as Mexico) or other countries that have a "maximum caliber" ban (such as Brazil). However, under the current BATF import point scheme they cannot be legally imported into the United States except (in theory) for law enforcement or government agency use. Needless to say, this makes it highly unlikely that either .380ACP Glock would appear in an American-produced movie.
